Question

imagine you are studying the cells of a newly discovered organism. you use a high - powered microscope to image the types of organelles present and find endoplasmic reticulum, a nucleus, and mitochondria. based on this description, which cellular processes are likely performed by this cell? select all that apply. synthesis of proteins and lipids photosynthesis synthesis of nucleic acids cellular respiration

Explanation:

1. The endoplasmic reticulum is involved in the synthesis of proteins (rough ER) and lipids (smooth ER).
2. Photosynthesis occurs in chloroplasts, which are not mentioned.
3. The nucleus contains the genetic material and is involved in the synthesis of nucleic acids.
4. Mitochondria are the sites of cellular respiration.

Answer:

synthesis of proteins and lipids, synthesis of nucleic acids, cellular respiration
